    Jesus I hope not! Winning Streak is bad enough as is but Marty's a pro and Sinead seems to have a head on her shoulders in front of a camera, and a way with the contestants. I like Marty Morrissey but WS is a step too far IMHO.

    According to tomorrows Sun Marty Whelan is to be replaced with Marty Morrissey WTF ? anyway shouldn't winning streaks days be numbered now that an post national lottery company is to be wound up ?

    Don't trust the Sun... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    If Marty W does go, then Brian Ormond is more likely to replace him than Marty M.

    Anyone who makes it onto the show is guaranteed €20,000, if I'm right in thinking.

    If I wanted to win that sort of money on a Saturday night TV show, however, I'd go on one of BBC1's quizzes, like In It to Win It or Who Dares Wins.

    :o:);)

    It's alright, it was a very bad rumour, thankfully.

    Don't trust the Indo, either... ;)

    Not when it claimed that Brian Kennedy would stay on for series 2 of the Voice of Ireland (he didn't), and that Jamelia wouldn't stay on for series 3 (she did).

    I'm well aware that the VOI is a different show to WS, but that's not the point. ;)

    I never understood why two presenters were needed.

    Because RTE and the National Lottery suddenly decided, "Winning Streak will work better with a man and a woman presenting together. And no-one will mind..." :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ;)

    The Big Money Game had one presenter for its first four series (Laura Woods in '08 and Derek Mooney in '09, '10 and '11), before the folks at Montrose and Abbey Street suddenly decided, "It'll work better with a man and a woman presenting together. And no-one will mind..."

    So goodbye Big Money Game, thanks for giving the aunt who made my life hell 100,000. Long story, but my great aunt's daughter "Young" Doreen (her aunt Old Doreen) was part of a syndicate of Dunnes Stores checkout ladies who won a ticket. She went on, bold as brass, stuffed into a red dress, tanned, blonde hair, and basically went on never mentioning she was in a syndicate. She won, the other ladies sued and it was promptly split.

    Looks like the Indo isn't wrong here... :eek: :eek:

    So, barring any U-turns, six series is the BMG's lot.

    Probably just as well, because it sunk almost as low as the Mariana Trench last August when Brian Ormond was joined for one episode by none other than his wife...

    Don't expect its replacement to be any better, though - even if Marty Morrissey does host it.

    (And if he does host it, he'll almost certainly have a young female co-host. What odds would you put on Diana Bunici from Elev8? :o:D;))

    It's not about to be wound up, it's about to be sold. And An Post will retain a stake.

    http://www.rte.ie/news/2014/0214/504354-national-lottery/

    So I don't think production of programmes like WS will cease just yet...
